Chapter 543: Chapter 368: It’s mine, and no one can take it away!_2

There was already plenty of seafood, so missing out on this one wouldn’t make a difference.

However, now that it approached voluntarily, it couldn’t be spared.

Sean Knight grasped the sea snake by its vital part and stuffed it into the net pocket before checking the cabin and making sure there were no issues, and then he emerged and floated up to the surface.

He believed that in no more than two days, they should be able to discover this sunken ship.

By that time, the marine creatures should have reclaimed the area, right?

Sean’s understanding of marine life came from diving. The area was abundant in food and numerous creatures, and the sunken ship had a big hole, surrounded by planks, making it a natural sanctuary.

It was inevitable that creatures like sea snakes and octopuses would be attracted to this place.

Sean floated up with the net pocket, and only Lana Brown was left on the deck.

It was evident that she was waiting for him - the dishes, or perhaps the food, were probably ready.

Seeing Sean float up and swim towards her, Lana hurriedly bent down to take the net pocket from his hand.

"Wait, there’s a sea snake inside."

"I’m not afraid." Lana waved her hand, "I’ve caught and eaten them when I was little. If you don’t mind the poison, they’re actually quite delicious."

This came as a surprise to Sean. Was Lana’s childhood that tough?

Since Lana wasn’t afraid, he handed over the net pocket: "It’s a bit heavy. Oh, and here’s a little something for you."

He opened his hand, revealing a gold hairpin he had taken from a box in the cabin. Sean thought it was quite exquisite, so he grabbed it.

"Is this... something you found underwater?" Lana asked excitedly, taking the hairpin.

"Yes." Sean smiled, "There’s probably a sunken ship nearby."

"God bless, let it be that fleet. Then I’ll truly be free!" Unexpectedly, Lana didn’t think about the items in the sunken ship, but was more focused on her own freedom.

"When the time comes, I’ll bring my mom to this big island!" Lana looked at Sean as he got onto the deck while she daydreamed, "And then we’ll never leave!"

Sean didn’t respond, thinking that he hadn’t agreed to anything yet.

After taking off the diving suit, Lana had already put the seafood from the net pocket aside and set up the small dishes on the table.

Sean sat in a chair, enjoying the taste of the food while watching Lana tidy up the seafood.

She was actually quite efficient at it.

Living like this was pretty good.

Just like the old society’s wealthy landlords.

It might sound a bit decaying, but it was quite comfortable.

As Sean had guessed, three days later, the salvage ship finally found the relatively intact sunken ship.

Before this, the experts that Leroy Brown had brought along had completed their examination and were basically sure that the silver ingots they had salvaged were from the Song Dynasty Royal Family.

Due to the lack of evidence, they couldn’t fully confirm that these items were indeed what the royal family of the Song Dynasty had asked the Brown Family to transport.

However, the newly discovered sunken ship provided a new, complete supplement for appraisal or confirmation.

Consequently, Leroy Brown, who had been somewhat fed up at the salvage ship, intended to meet up with Sean and reach an agreement with Lana in terms of consciousness.

After all, he had basically accepted that this time, they would most likely have to officially hand things over.

However, once the news about the sunken ship came out, he didn’t have time to come over.

After all, that was the important matter.

What caught him off guard was that Lana didn’t care about it at all, just staying on the yacht as if the current salvage had nothing to do with her!

This seemed a bit strange!

To show his impartiality, Leroy made sure to call Lana and tell her about the discovery of the new sunken ship - the complete one. However, Lana’s only response was "Oh," and then she hurried off to prepare food.

It seemed that the sunken ship wasn’t as important to her as a meal!

This made Leroy’s carefully prepared set of responses seem like punching cotton - completely useless!

He clearly remembered that before they left, his father had specifically advised him that this time was all about plucking a peach. Lana knew this too, so she would definitely not give him a warm welcome.

Therefore, he mentally prepared himself to appear magnanimous but not weak.

During the journey, he did a lot of mental construction, making sure not to blame everything on the family and to let Lana understand that this was an inevitable trend, so she shouldn’t be stubborn.

In the end, his punch landed on cotton.

She simply had no intention of fighting with herself.

Whatever you want, take it, I don’t care, that’s her attitude.

Next, the salvage ship dredged up the sunken ship’s contents almost entirely.

Of course, they had to dismantle it first. Otherwise, a ship made of pure wood wouldn’t hold together and would definitely fall apart.

What disappointed Leroy Brown was that there was a big hole in the ship’s hull, and there wasn’t much inside.

People on the salvage ship guessed that most of the contents were likely leaked out through that hole when the ship sank.

Leroy was somewhat disappointed, but this was still a good start.

Over the next few days, the salvage ship found seven sunken ships in different areas.

Some of the ships had broken apart, while others were still intact.

However, whether they were broken or intact, there wasn’t much valuable stuff inside them.

"The estimated total value of the items inside should not exceed ten million dollars," the expert on the salvage ship reported to Leroy Brown.

"So, will there be more?" Leroy asked.

"There should be," said the expert. "The documents show that there were a total of fifteen ships in the fleet, and the other eight should still be out there, but we’ll need to keep searching."

"Then let’s keep looking!" Leroy thought that as long as there was something to find, they should keep searching.

"But the salvage ship needs to resupply," said Captain Guy. "Otherwise, we won’t be able to hold out much longer."

Leroy agreed with his suggestion.

After Guy left, Leroy asked the expert who came with him:

"Is there a possibility that the contents of these sunken ships were salvaged by someone else beforehand?"

"There is this possibility," the expert, not a complete rookie himself, replied: "Considering the inspection, these ships are all standardized and have relatively large cabins.

However, after salvaging, we found that many items in the cabins were missing. But since it’s at the bottom of the sea, and seawater erosion is quite severe, we can’t determine when exactly the items left the cabins."

As an expert who studies on land, he had no diving experience and couldn’t go underwater himself.

The salvage ship was advanced, and most of the diving operations were done by machines, so they didn’t pay much attention to the traces inside the sunken ships.

All they cared about was whether there were items or not.

Leroy had no choice but to report this situation to the family.

Fortunately, the tribe leader and elders all supported him to continue salvaging.

Maybe there would be miracles in the ships they salvage next?

At this time, Sean Knight surfaced from the water.

Inside the spatial realm, there were quite a few items he had salvaged in advance from the sunken ships.

These items included almost 300 kilograms of gold, more than a ton of silver, and this was just the weight of gold and silver ingots.

In addition, there were seven or eight boxes of gold and silver artifacts and jewelry, as well as a large number of official kiln porcelain, which had sadly become sea salvaged porcelain.

There were also some ancient weapons and metal utensils, but he didn’t take those that were severely corroded by seawater.

Even so, the value of his harvest exceeded one hundred million dollars — after all, these were antiques and couldn’t be valued based on the pure gold or pure silver value alone.

Of course, it would take a long time to liquidate them in the market, and it would be impossible to sell them all at once, or it would flood the market.

For now, Sean had no plans to release these items.

He didn’t find any more sunken ships nearby, so he thought it should be sufficient.

When he climbed onto the deck, Lana Brown was talking on the phone.

"What? Really? Well, Tribe Leader, I’m happy about it. I’ll leave this side to Leroy Brown. As for the family’s affairs, you don’t need to look for me in the future. I want to clear my mind for a while..."

Sean placed the net pocket on the deck and climbed up himself.

He could tell that Lana Brown was now completely liberated.

So, what choice would she make next?

Would it be the same as before?
